Chocdoc does the City so Nice they Named it Twice!

[Kerry Beal]

@Alleguede and I are in NY, NY this weekend for the Salon du Chocolat. Last time the Salon was held here was many, many years ago and I recall meeting several eG folks there for the first time.

 

 

 

Sad breakfast in the lounge - but I do enjoy the Lavazza coffee.

Wow, I was thinking Walla Walla.  😉

Bora Bora

[Kerry Beal]

Is there anybody in New York who would be interested in coming to the salon for free. I just discovered that I have got 25 free tickets and I haven’t taken advantage of that

[Kerry Beal]

If you are interested and not able to PM me I can probably be reached at EZtemper on Facebook or Instagram

I wish you were 46 miles closer.

Maybe we could get Bhavani to pick you up on his way

[Kerry Beal]

 

 

People are dying to get to NYC apparently.

After we dropped things off at the Javitz Center - we went in search of dinner.

 

 

 

 

 

We found pineapple. 

 

 

 

[Porthos]

I'm on the wrong coast to accept your offer. Drat.

[Kerry Beal]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Artichokes - strangely they were already picked before being deep fried.

 

 

 

Glenn opted for the Mesqualito - good choice. 

 

 

Bianca and I - the Jaguar Negroni - I had them put mine in the proper glass! It was a bit smokier normal!

 

 

Gnocchi for me - with the sauce for the rigatoni.

 

 

Paparadelle for Glenn

 

 

Burrata and prosciutto for Bianca

 

 

The pineapple reimagined 

 

 

 

A stop for dessert at Van Leeuwen Ice cream in Hudson Yards

And then one goes to Trader Joes for a couple of things, Target to buy sugar and comes home to make white chocolate in the bathroom.

As one typically does...

I'd love to take you up on your offer (especially because I live just across town from the Javits), I'm going to have to be going to work a lot this weekend, which is out of the city... damn!

Talad Wat - Thai for dinner

 

Nice little Chefs table at the back

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing serious damage to the pickles while we wait for our food 

[Kerry Beal]

 

 

 

 

[Kerry Beal]

Sadly a few dishes not in focus!

Tater tots fall into two groups, the oven baked beauties and the grease-bombs that are deep fried. These look like the latter. Lazy cook. 

[Kerry Beal]

 

 

forgot lunch - a run was made to Shake Shack. We were pretty peckish by the time we got food - the folks who were reaching across our booth to try to help themselves to the stuff we were making were threatened with stabbing by a dipping fork. My dipping forks are very substantial! And I was serious!

Quick stop into Juniors to get takeaway

 

 

 

 

 

[MetsFan5]

Love all of this (I’m not a huge fan of juniors) and you’re brave to deal with the cold.
